La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
Dalhousie Law Journal
Les Éditions Thémis publiaient en 1997 un livre intitulé La doctrine et l'interprétation du Code civil, par Me Sylvie Parent. Cette étude constitue le fruit de ses recherches et de sa réflection effectuées dans le cadre de ses travaux de maîtrise en droit à l'Université de Montreal; son directeur de thèse était le professeur Pieffe-André Côté, éminent auteur dans le domaine de l'interprétation des lois. C'est à ce dernier qu'est revenu l'honneur de rédiger la préface de cet ouvrage. Il n'a point hésité, à juste titre d'ailleurs, d'ajouter le nom de Me Parent à la liste d'auteurs contemporains ayant contribué, …

A Comparison Of New Zealand Taxpayers' Rights With Selected Civil Law And Common Law Countries, Adrian J. Sawyer
A Comparison Of New Zealand Taxpayers' Rights With Selected Civil Law And Common Law Countries, Adrian J. Sawyer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This article seeks to ascertain the breadth of rights that taxpayers enjoy in New Zealand in comparison with their counterparts in a number of common law and civil law jurisdictions. Such a comparison enables the wealth of experience that codification of rights in civil law countries can provide in comparison to the traditionally lower reliance on statutory protection in common law jurisdictions. From this comparative analysis common themes are distilled, as well as differences between New Zealand and various civil law and common law nations with respect to the legal position and state of taxpayers' rights. The author mounts a …
International Recognition And Adaptation Of Trusts: The Influence Of The Hague Convention, Adair Dyere
International Recognition And Adaptation Of Trusts: The Influence Of The Hague Convention, Adair Dyere
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The process of bringing English-style trusts into systems that do not have a similar device is fraught with difficulties. This is especially true with respect to efforts directed towards the creation of a domestic trust law within such a system, but it is also true about the adaptation of legal institutions that is necessary in order to recognize trusts created under foreign law, in accordance with Article 11 of the Hague Trusts Convention. Thus far, it can be said that no country that did not have trusts before the Hague Trusts Convention has reacted to the Convention by adopting a …
The Civil Law Trust, Maurizio Lupoi
The Civil Law Trust, Maurizio Lupoi
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
It is generally held that trusts are incompatible with the basic assumptions of civil law systems. In order to discuss this statement one would have to inquire, first, what is meant by the term "trusts"; second, what assumed common characteristics of the civil law systems are being envisaged and declared to bein compatible with trusts; and third, why those characteristics should be incompatible with trusts. It is also commonly held that the Hague Convention of 1984 on the law applicable to and the recognition of trusts concerns only those trusts that are foreign to the jurisdiction in which the rules …

The View From The Bottomless Pit: Truth, Myth, And Irony In A Civil Action, Jerome P. Facher
The View From The Bottomless Pit: Truth, Myth, And Irony In A Civil Action, Jerome P. Facher
Seattle University Law Review
This Article offers the observations, analysis, and commentary of Beatrice's chief trial counsel about some of the important issues and rulings in Anderson, the accuracy of the events reported in A Civil Action, and the misimpressions created by the book's undoubted tilt in the plaintiffs' direction. Wherever possible, this Article's effort to balance the scales relies on court records, trial and hearing transcripts, and on other actual trial materials in Anderson to present the relevant facts and events in the context in which they arose. Contrary to the erroneous impression of justice gone astray created by the book …

The Woburn Case: Is There A Better Way?, Michael B. Keating
The Woburn Case: Is There A Better Way?, Michael B. Keating
Seattle University Law Review
This essay suggests that the intense public interest in the best selling novel, A Civil Action, and the subsequent film should be directed less to Academy Awards nominations and more toward ways to improve the methods that our legal system employs to resolve complex and important disputes.
